Thankful
I have a lot to be thankful for this year. My readers, especially. I hope that you each have a very Happy Thanksgiving. If you’re not in the United States, I hope you have a great weekend.
Update on The Chronicles of Brad
I’m still working on it. Now that I have a job, I don’t get to work on it as much as I’d like to. But I will let you know when I have it finished. Stay tuned and, if you’re not on my notification list, you should sign up so you’ll be notified when I do.
Happy Reading!
Happy 24th Anniversary Kris & Brad
I began writing the Shipwrecked Series in 1996 while working the Night Audit (graveyard shift) at a motel.
My readers wanted more, so I continued the series.
In 2009, I decided it was time to write Family Reunion which is the finalé. And half way through it, I decided to re-write the entire series from Brad’s point of view, calling it The Chronicles of Brad. Due to work and other interferences, I didn’t get to work on it very often.
In December 2017, my job on the AppleCare Project with Kelly Services ended, so I decided I needed to get to work on it. While working on it, I planned that since there were 10 books in the collection, I would release one book a month and end on their anniversary with The Chronicles of Brad. Unfortunately, I had to clean all the books up and it wasn’t until August 8th that I was able to start releasing them.
I did mange to get the collection from Kris’s point of view out, but there is still so much to do from Brad’s point of view, I wasn’t able to make it by my deadline of October 14th for The Chronicles of Brad.
I did finally find a job working at AlticeUSA (Suddenlink) in the Call Center as a Technical Support Agent, and it is keeping from working on it as much as I want/need to.

Mathis is Interviewed on PBS' "24-Frames"
Local PBS Affiliate, KTTZ, has a weekly program called “24-Frames”. Generally, it only features local music bands, but occasionally has other types of artists and things of public interest.

Believe it or not, it’s less than five weeks from October 14, 2018—Which will be Kris and Brad’s 24th Anniversary.
I am still releasing a book a week from Kris’ point of view, but I am still working on “The Chronicles of Brad” and do plan to have it released on time.
